She helped us with 1:1 training for little issues we were working on, our girl went to daily play group (which she LOVED) and Lucy and her team helped with many out of town sleep overs! The love they show our girl is so wonderful--and they are RELIABLE! We had to seriously consider our decision when we purchased our home out of town...because we LOVE Tails Up Pet Care! We never worry about how our girl is being cared for...to have that trusting relationship is worth every dollar we spend! We now come back into the area periodically and Lucy has always kept her doors open for our girl! She joins right back in play group with her BFF, tail wagging and smiles all around! Don't hesitate...give Lucy a call, you won't be disappointed!

This must be the best off-leash service that includes pick up, drop off and clean up in the bay area. Great things about Danny's services: - Flexibility - He will text me when he is 15 mins away, so I can get Tele ready. - Including pick up, drop off and clean up - Highly recommend for high energy pup - He CARES about your dog If you are on the waitlist, it WORTH to wait because this is the must have service for your pup .

Danny takes care of every dog in his group like his own, with individual attention for their exercise, wellbeing and pack bonding behavior. He usually picks Julius up in the morning, and after a full day at the beach drops him off late afternoon. Particular attention is also paid to limiting the group size for space and specialized monitoring. What we particularly love about Danny's service is his flexibility for scheduling, timely text communication, personable attitude, and his real interest in pet care. This is definitely a must-have service if you can get on the waitlist!

I called her on the same evening that my neighbor passed on the number to me. I was pleasantly surprised that she already was anticipating my phone call. Then she graciously volunteered about half an hour of her time first to discuss and understand the issue and then made recommendations about the next steps to take. I was impressed by the breadth of Nancy 's knowledge and by how well she related to a dog's psychology. Please don't hesitate to contact her for your dog's needs.

Ryland and his team are a really great service for anything related to your dogs. We have used…read moretheir team for boarding as well as training. The boarding experience was awesome as we felt like our dogs were taken care of and well cared for the entire time that we were away. We felt like they had enough stimulation as well, which is always something to worry about. We felt this way because we got constant pictures, videos, and updates on how they were doing. I have also used Ryland specifically with my anxious bulldog for training. My bulldog is deaf and also a rescue so there were many challenges when it came to training him. Ryland showed me different ways to mark his positive behavioral patterns and switch up the negative patterns in an effective way. He was super patient, gracious, and never made me feel like I was the bad owner or my dog was a bad dog. I feel super secure working with Ryland and will continue to use him for future services around my dog.

My pups have very different personalities and she knows how to manage them both, with ease. In fact, I think my lab mix loves Shelly more than she loves our own family (I can't blame her, as I don't take her to the beach nearly as frequently!). Shelly also send me photo updates of the fun they are having during the day, which I love (though it often makes me regret my desk-job). When she drops them off at home in the afternoon, Shelly takes the extra few minutes to wipe any remaining sand off them. This is much appreciated, as one of the dogs inevitably launches into my son's bed directly upon reentry. We also board our pups with Shelly when we travel (which we do frequently) and it's great to know that my dogs are getting all the love and attention they need. I've used various doggy daycare facilities in the past, with varying levels of success. There's no doubt that my dogs are happiest with Shelly. She spoils them -- in a good way -- and her house is their "home away from home."

Ana was a rescue dog when we picked her up at 8 weeks old in January 2024. Her anxiety and…read morereactivities toward people and all four-legged animals were so extreme that we couldn't bring her to any public place. When she was finally tall enough to peek through the car window, she would bark so loud at the dogs crossing the street that people thought we were murdering her. We thought she would learn from her older packs: an 8 year old female Belgium Malinois and a 11 year old male German Shepherd Dog. We were wrong. She bullied the older dogs. Thank goodness we found Enrique Guey through Omar's Doza Dogs in Palo Alto. We enrolled Ana through Omar's Board and Train program. Ana came back a completely different dog after 5 + weeks. She was able to go on walks with Omar's packs. She was able to board with them without incidents. The biggest surprise was that she was able to go on weekly walks with Enrique's clients' dogs at Stanford Shopping Mall. I would highly recommend anyone who has similar situations to start this training course with Enrique and boarding at Omar's. This is a perfect combination where your dog gets training routines on a daily basis. Omar's team is very friendly and professional. They will screen all the dogs before adding them to the group walk. This is the best of the best team! Totally worth the price compare to the big brand K9 training company. (which I also enrolled Ana prior to Enrique) Highly recommend the training and boarding program! Worth every penny! Just imagine your ADHD dog walking with you at Stanford Shopping Center. You will be so proud of your dog and yourself!! Make it your goal to get your dog trained this year! Your quality of life will improve dramatically!!

Full service business so they will pick up and drop off all your loved ones with fantastic walks along the bay. Boarding at an extra cost.
